Last week's Search Engine Strategies conference in NYC went really well. The organic SEO session that I spoke at had some interesting questions posed by audience members. I even broke my no-party rule and checked out MSN's party at Slate. It was surprisingly fun for 2 reasons: 1) it wasn't too loud, and 2) they had ping-pong tables! (See Lee Odden's photo of me kicking Matt Van Wagner and the FindmeFaster team's butt.) Ping-pong just happens to be the one "sport" I'm a natural at. Well, that and archery, but having bows and arrows at a party where drinking is involved could be dangerous!

Next week, I'll be back in NYC for the BlogHer Business 2008 conference. I'll be moderating a case study and participating on an "ask the experts" panel. Should be fun!

On the home front, not much to report other than the fact that my kids really are no longer kids! Corie turned 21 at the beginning of the month, and Tim turned 15 last week. (Jamie's 19, but not a March-born!) Kind of hard to believe. Funny to think that they were 7, 11, and 13 when I started my first newsletter back in 2000. Ah well, we all get older I guess!
